Chapter 414 Yu'er, When Will You Wake Up?
Chapter 414 Yu'er, When Will You Wake Up?
The prince looked from afar at the First Lady holding Hongrui. In the dim candlelight, he could not see clearly what the First Lady was groping on Rui'er's face.
The prince's heart tightened, and he shouted at the top of his voice:
"Bijun, Bijun, what are you doing? He's just a newborn baby!"
When the eldest wife heard the prince's call, she slowly raised her head with a sneer on her face.
She responded slowly:
"Really, my lord? I thought you would be very happy.
Why, you don't have the slightest joy of having a child on your face, but instead a look of sadness?"
After saying this, the first wife still felt unsatisfied, so she suddenly ripped off Hongrui's swaddling clothes, revealing the child wearing only a thin bellyband.
The spring night was still a little cold, and the child suddenly started shivering.
At this moment, a loud cry suddenly rang out, breaking the silence of the night.
The prince's heart trembled suddenly. He was anxious and hurried forward, wanting to reach out and hug Hongrui.
However, what the prince never expected was that the first wife suddenly dodged the prince's hand cleverly.
She hugged Hongrui tightly, took a few steps back, and put some distance between herself and the prince.
The cold and resolute look of the eldest wife pierced the prince's heart like a knife.
The prince felt that he could not slack off at this moment, for fear that the first wife would do something extreme.
She looked at the prince, as if talking to herself:
"You want a child, right?
Sure, as long as you hand over the military token!
Not to mention Hongrui, I will even send Xuan'er to you!"
The prince seemed to be under a spell, frozen in place, staring at the first lady in front of him, his face full of astonishment and disbelief.
"Bijun, you...what do you, a woman, need a military token for?"
However, the eldest wife completely ignored the prince's reaction, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she began to touch Hongrui's face again.
"Don't do anything!"
Then, the eldest wife's tone suddenly became high-pitched, full of resentment and unwillingness:
"I want to see why that military commander gave the position of legitimate wife, which should have belonged to me, to Lin Daiyu!"
The eldest wife gnashed her teeth and said, "I must destroy the military talisman and eliminate all traces of it!"
Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth. She seemed to hate that military token to the core!
Seeing this, the prince naturally refused to hand over the military token. He thought this woman must be crazy!
The military token is something that controls the lifeblood of the country, how can it be given to a woman casually!
Before the prince could come to his senses, the eldest lady suddenly went crazy, grabbed a dagger on the table and was about to stab Rui'er in her arms.
The prince looked at this scene in astonishment and didn't react at all.
I saw the eldest lady slowly holding the dagger and gently gesturing on Rui'er's pink face. She seemed to be smiling, but also like a ferocious beast!
The eldest wife gestured and laughed wildly:
"Hahahaha, okay!
Didn't you say that this brat is more promising than my two children?"
Her laughter echoed in the room, accompanied by the dim candlelight, making people shudder for a moment.
The prince saw that the first wife was becoming more and more crazy, and wanted to hug Hongrui quickly, but his body suddenly seemed to be frozen and he could not move.
The eldest wife continued to sneer: "Humph, that's all!
In your heart, that military token is more important than your son's life!"
The prince's face turned pale and his lips trembled. He wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and no sound came out.
At this moment, the eldest lady suddenly swung the dagger and stabbed it towards Rui'er's face!
Seeing this, the prince rushed forward desperately, trying to snatch Rui'er away.
However, just when his hand was about to touch the First Lady, something incredible happened - the First Lady and Rui'er disappeared out of thin air before his eyes!
The prince widened his eyes and looked at the empty study in disbelief, his hand still suspended in mid-air, as if time had frozen at this moment.
The prince began to frantically look for the first wife and Rui'er.
He ran around the room, rummaged through drawers and even searched under the bed, but found nothing.
"Bijun, Bijun, please, give me the child..."
The plaintive cry echoed in the room.
However, no matter how he shouted, there was no response.
The prince was extremely regretful - if he had known earlier, he would have coaxed the First Concubine to ask her not to hurt Rui'er, and even gave her the military token, so what!
He didn't know where the eldest lady had taken Rui'er, nor did he know whether he was safe.
Just when the prince was feeling desperate, he suddenly felt the scene in front of him become blurred and everything around him was spinning.
He felt dizzy and then suddenly opened his eyes, only to find himself still guarding Daiyu's bed. Everything that had just happened was just a terrible nightmare!
He hurriedly stroked his chest, then stood up and walked to the table to drink a cup of tea in big gulps.
With lingering fear, he cried to Daiyu who was still unconscious:
"Yu'er, I beg you, please wake up quickly, okay?"
